As Uchiha Kei walked out of the wooden house, looking utterly dejected, White Bone Yu's cries came from inside the room.
The entire White Bone Clan and even the entire Twilight Ninja Village were plunged into grief at this moment.
White Bone Momotao, the old patriarch of the White Bone Clan and the founder of Twilight Ninja Village, has fallen.
Uchiha Kei walked absentmindedly down the messy street.
Because of the attack by the Big Thunder, the infrastructure of the entire Twilight Ninja Village was severely damaged.
The once bustling streets are now littered with broken stones and tattered cloth, looking quite desolate.
Uchiha Kei wandered aimlessly for a long time, exploring the entire village.
His mind was constantly filled with the words that White Bone Momotao had said on her deathbed.
"Master... all these years, you still don't have a home."
"Decisions must be made when necessary; hesitation will only lead to indecision..."
"In the end, you won't be the only one who regrets it."
Uchiha Kei stopped and looked up at the bright blue sky.
Even on her deathbed, this girl was still thinking about him.
But...
A palpable killing intent flashed in Uchiha Kei's eyes.
The Eight Thunder Gods Big Thunder of Netherworld...
They must die!
Uchiha Kei turned around and walked towards home.
As soon as he reached the entrance of what used to be a small courtyard, Uchiha Kei looked at the huge pit in front of him and shook his head helplessly.
I forgot, that bastard Big Thunder wrecked our house...
"Grown ups."
Kaguya came running quickly from a distance.
"Well, Kaguya, how are your injuries?"
Uchiha Kei turned around and observed Kaguya.
Kaguya bowed respectfully. "It's alright."
"Sir, your temporary accommodation is at the Twilight Shadow Building. Apart from there, the village is basically..."
Kaguya paused with some concern, then secretly glanced at Uchiha Kei.
Uchiha Kei. "Okay, I understand. I won't go to the accommodation for now."
He just wanted to go home to find a quiet place to be alone for a while.
Since we've lost our home, let's just leave it at that.
After all...
He's about to embark on a high-level mission.
This is a transaction with the system.
Kaguya looked at him with some confusion.
"I'll be leaving here for a while, and I'll be leaving the care of Twilight Ninja Village to you during that time."
Kaguya was taken aback and quickly asked, "Where are you planning to go, sir? Is there anything Kaguya can do to help?"
The village has Hashirama and Madara, as well as Uchiha Izuna and Tobirama, and Naruto and Sasuke who are growing up rapidly.
Unless a god like the Big Thunder God appears, even if the entire Shinobi World attacks the Twilight Ninja Village, the Twilight Ninja Village will remain safe and sound.
Uchiha Kei shook his head.
Where to?
He didn't know where the advanced mission would transport him, nor did he know the specifics of the mission itself.
According to the system, advanced missions carry a certain degree of danger.
Even he could perish if he were not careful.
"Ding, you are about to enter an advanced mission. Please prepare yourself."
Just then, the system notification sounded.
After exchanging a few words with Kaguya, Uchiha Kei Kaguya her leave first.
Watching Kaguya's disappearing figure, glancing back every few steps, a hint of confusion flashed in Uchiha Kei's eyes.
He could sense Kaguya's feelings.
But can he accept Kaguya?
Even he wasn't entirely clear on this point.
"Buzz!"
A door shimmering with a dark, eerie light instantly appeared in front of him.
Uchiha Kei frowned as he sensed it.
The dark door, like a lurking beast, gave him a feeling of dread.
Uchiha Kei was secretly alarmed.
He now possesses the Seed of the Divine Prototype, even if it's very difficult for him to activate it.
But after all, it already possessed the characteristics of a god.
If you can feel the danger even before you step inside, what kind of horror awaits you inside?
After waiting for a while, Uchiha Kei still hadn't received any system notifications, so he gritted his teeth and reluctantly went inside.
The moment he stepped inside, the dark door seemed to let out a faint sigh.
The sigh seemed to be coming from outside the door, and it seemed...
From heaven.
Then it vanished into nothingness.
Uchiha Kei stepped inside, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
It felt as if he were in water, and every movement brought him great resistance.
Uchiha Kei immediately understood.
Gravity!
Gravity completely different from the Naruto World!
After carefully sensing the gravity, Uchiha Kei determined that if the actual gravity in the Hokage was 1, then the gravity here was 10.
A 10-fold difference...
Uchiha Kei cautiously sensed everything around him.
Ten times the gravity had some effect on him, but what made him even more wary was the creature that lived under ten times the gravity!
"Ding, advanced mission activated."
"Advanced Mission - Expansion"
"Advanced mission requirements: Proceed to a point where further progress is impossible, and within 30 days, use the Prototype Seed to explore the Dark World, expanding to a minimum area of ten meters."
"Advanced mission reward: None (already distributed by the system in advance)."
"Advanced Mission Enhancement: Prototype Seed Manifestation"
"Advanced mission failure penalty: Two of the following will be randomly removed: Rinnegan, Tenseigan, and Eight Gates), and cannot be obtained again."
Uchiha Kei paused, his brows furrowing deeply.
In the past, Space-Time Mission only offered rewards, with no penalties.
This advanced mission, however, offered no rewards, only penalties.
Has the system already distributed the funds in advance?
Could what was being distributed be the Seed of the Divine Prototype?
Wrong!
In an instant, Uchiha Kei realized he'd been tricked by that damn system!
If all goes as expected, the Seed of the Divine Prototype will be the reward for the third Space-Time Mission.
He didn't complete the third Space-Time Mission, but the system issued the Prototype Seed ahead of schedule because of him. He simply owed the system a safe Space-Time Mission!
But what about now?
Forced to participate in dangerous high-level missions, with penalties for failure, and the system even steals all the high-level mission rewards!
What a loss!
Once he understood, Uchiha Kei was filled with rage!
He thought he had threatened the system and obtained a huge benefit.
Little did he know he was on the third floor, while that bastard system was on the eighteenth!
"Damn it!"
Uchiha Kei cursed under his breath, venting his resentment.
Just then, the road ahead...
That's the end.
